Direct Answer
The FTSE Developed Europe Index is a rule-based measurement of large and mid-cap equities across developed European markets, maintained by FTSE Russell. Like every index it owns nothing: it is a number produced by applying a published weighting formula to a selected list of securities, revised on a schedule the provider sets.
What this index covers
The FTSE Developed Europe Index covers large and mid-cap equities across developed European markets. FTSE Russell defines which securities are eligible, how they are selected from that pool, and how much each one contributes to the published number.
The methodology document, published by FTSE Russell, sets the rules for inclusion and removal. Corporate actions, index reviews, and eligibility changes all move the constituent list on the timetable the provider specifies.
How constituents are weighted
Swoopr has not verified the weighting method for this index against FTSE Russell's current methodology document, so none is stated here rather than guessed. The provider link below is authoritative.
